Hi everyone. My name is Liz and I'm 34 (hubby turns 35 in July). We've been married about a year and are ready to start TTC. I have 1 child, DS from a previous marriage and he's 15. It's been a bit scary thinking about starting the process all over, but even moreso exciting (especially because I'm older and wiser).
I have a pre-conception checkup with my Dr. on Weds and hope to start prenatals. We will officially start TTC in May and I just wanted to step in, introduce myself and just say hi!


Re: Intro (child mentioned)
I also have older children and am also looking foreword to starting over.
Glad to hear you are going to see your doctor. Starting prenatals now is smart. I hope May is a success for you and we will be here for you as long as your ttc journey lasts.
